Everyone’s favorite mascot is big at it! And he’s doing it on a much grander stage!

The Toronto Raptors’ mascot has become a favorite among basketball fans for eating cheerleaders, falling over and consistently entertaining the fans at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Although this is the Raptors’ other mascot, which has a man inside the costume, the Raptor is still entertaining fans by dancing and shaking his tail.

The Raptors and Nets are entrenched in a game that has been rather sloppy with poor shooting, but is very close and is coming down to the wire in the last few seconds.
